Top of the morning to everyone. A friend's dear wife, Mrs Okao cheated death few weeks ago, escaping murder in the hands of a co-tenant, Barr. Ojeh Oziengbe. The incident occurred at No. 21, Osagiator Street off Church Crescent, Ogbe-Ibuya Quarters, Ekenwan Road, Benin City. I like to plead with well meaning Nigerians, to use their good office, to see that the perpetrator of this heinous crime against humanity, Barr. Ojeh Oziengbe is brought to book for his actions, so that he doesn't feel above the law and it would serve as a lesson to all.

There has been series of issues in the space of three months that culminated into this attack by the said Barr. Oziengbe on the 12th of November, 2017. I wouldn't want to bore us with details of past events. The bone of contention has been the direction of flow of water from the Okao's apartment who are occupants of the first flat while the Oziengbe's occupy the back flat of the same building. The Oziengbe's had complained of the water flowing through the back of their apartment,but unfortunately, that is how the compound was floored, such that water flows through the back, out of the compound. The landlord has looked into the matter and resolved that they should live together as one family but his admonition, apparently fell on deaf ears.

The Oziengbe's came back from Church that Sunday afternoon (November 12th, 2017) and saw that water had flowed through the back of their apartment, from washing Mr Okao had done that day. Infuriated by the sight of the water and knowing fully well that Mr Okao was not at home, Mrs Oziengbe decided to engage Mrs Okao in a fight but the latter avoided the former's call for a fight, locking herself and her kids in their apartment. Mrs Oziengbe, obviously frustrated by the avoidance of the fight she had called for, resorted to pouring buckets of water in the Okao's apartment, yet Mrs Okao did not respond to her.

On getting home, Mr Okao was briefed of happenings while he was away that afternoon. He decided to see Barr. Oziengbe to have a chat and also tell him to caution his wife as she has gone overboard by her actions on several occasions in the last two months. On getting to the Oziengbe's apartment, he was told Barr. Oziengbe was asleep. Meanwhile, the wife was in the sitting room so he cautioned her to have a rethink of her actions so as not to provoke him to react one day. While he was yet speaking, the second child of the Oziengbe's, Osezuwa came from behind, held his throat, pushed him so both of them fell to the ground. Mrs Okao swiftly moved to remove the young lads hand from her husband throat, while they were struggling, Barr. Oziengbe came outside with a machete and attacked Mrs Okao.

Mrs Okao was rushed to the hospital for treatment. While they were at the hospital, they were informed that Barr. Oziengbe had gone to Evbuotubu Police station to make report and get the Okao's arrested but he was not fortunate enough as they were yet to treat Mrs Okao at the hospital when they received the information so they went to meet him at Evbuotubu Police station. The Police on seeing Mrs Okao asked who her attackers were, she said it was Barr. Oziengbe who had been waiting for Police to follow him to go make arrest. He was detained that day but surprisingly, Barr. Oziengbe has transferred the case to area command and has vowed to deal with the Okao's. Mrs Oziengbe on her part, has also vowed to deal with Mr & Mrs Okao both physically and spiritually.

Fully aware of the power of social media, Mr Okao pleaded with me to help him raise awareness on Nairaland so that this wickedness is not left un-punished. Kindly assist the Okao's get justice in anyway you can. Thanks for your time

One reason why I hate all this neighbour- neighbour alignment! "see finish go come dey enter"!

Barr. Oziengbe came outside
with a machete and attacked Mrs Okao.

Probably he has been hitting on her and she didn't give him attention hence his frustration, bitterness and anger!

Evidently, the barrister's family are a bunch of rabid dogs! Wife- troublesome, children- disrespectful, barrister- possible killer!

Madam sorry, law partitioners over to you! someone must visit and acclimatize with Oko prison Benin city!

eeyah

OP should post this story on his facebook wall so that people in Benin can rally up the police to ensure that justice is achieved.

Beautiful brain
